I really hope UC did not lose to the eventual champs this year. You never like losing, but you can take some small solace from the fact that you lost to the national champion. I just don't want that to be tO$U, that's all.

Not sure about this, but I think we may be the only team to lose in overtime to the eventual national champion three times.

1963 to Loyola
1966 to Texas Western (Now UTEP)
1993 to North Carolina

If only Huggs would have called TO when NC went on that late run to catch up. He was saving it, I can understand his reasoning, but... Sooooooooooo close to 2 FF's in a row. Wow imagine recruiting. Still think about that game sometimes. Sounds like Longtimer thinks about 3 of them. Some u just don't forget. Loyola was in the the NC game, what about Tex We? Was that in the Final 8?? Back then the tourney was how many teams??

22 teams. UC had a bye and lost it's first game in the "sweet" 16. Then lost the regional 3rd place game to SMU.

UCLA didn't make the tourney but started a long run the next year beating Dayton to win the championship.

I'm pretty sure that 22 teams made the tourney that year. The top ten got byes into the sweet sixteen, and there were six playin games to get to sixteen. The Texas Western game was our first game of the tourny. The Midwest regional was in Lubbock, TX that year, and TW had a huge homecourt advantage. Hard to believe now, but there was no TV for that game, I Iistened on the radio. Also, our final regular season game against Wichata State was one of the great games ever in the Armory Fieldhouse, winner was MVC champ, celebration after......
